I'm doing pretty well so far. No real pain, but I'm struggling to get in more than 20 oz of Water and 35g of Protein. I'm lightheaded and I'm sure it's due to the dehydration. I'm so ready for puréed food. Any advice you have would be appreciated.

Hydration is more important than Protein at this point. sugar-free popsicles, warm herbal tea-- experiment with temperatures and flavors to find something you can sip on all day. A little bit all day adds up.

G2 and Water mixed. Helps with electrolytes.

Get you some Premier Protein premade shakes (they have 30g of Protein, low carb, low sugar) - focus on staying hydrated but try to get those Protein Shakes in. The protein will help you heal quicker. I know it is a challenge but it is temporary and before you know it you will be loving your sleeve! :) P.S. You can buy the Premier Protein shakes at Sam's Club, costco or Amazon

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
